MANNERS & MORALS: The Tragedy of Monty Thorne

Montgomery Ward Thorne seemed to
have everything. He grew up with a $4,200 model railroad, a collection
of guns, a speedboat and an Oldsmobile convertible. If he had reached
his 21st birthday next October, he would have come into a fortune. His
father, Gordon Thorne. a hard-drinking heir of a Montgomery Ward & Co.
founder, had left his fourth wife and their son Monty $3,000,000 in
trust. But Monty's life was full of unhappiness, and his death was full
of horror.
